IRB Introduction #1

For my IRB I will be reading the critically acclaimed nonfiction graphic novel, A.D. New Orleans After the Deluge. Josh Neufeld crafts this thought provoking and truly unique depiction of hurricane Katrina through the eyes of real life residents in New Orleans prior to and after the destructive hurricane wreaked havoc on the city in 2005. I decided to read this book because I was really interested in storms like this, the effect they have on places, but most of all, people. I also look forward to analyzing visual rhetoric and seeing how it translates from textual.
